    • what are some advantages of a light microscope ?
      its cheap and easy to use
    • what are some disadvantages of a light microscope ?
      it uses light so it has a low resolution, therefore you may not be able to see some objects clearly
    • what are some advantages of an electron microscope
      it uses electrons therefore it produces a higher resolution
    • what is a disadvantage of electron microscope
      its quite expensive . difficult to use
    • what would you divide by to get from nanometres to micrometres?

      1000
    • what would you multiply by to get from micrometres to nanometres ?
      1000
    • what is the definition of magnification ?
      how many times larger the image is compared to it's actual size
    • how would u calculate magnification ?
      image size divided by object size
    • how to calculate the object size?
      image size divided by magnification
    • how to calculate the image size of an object ?
      object size x magnification
    • what is the definition for resolution ?
      the shortest distance in which an object can be apart without appearing blurred
    • what is an independent variable?
      independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist
    • the dependent variable?
